Labour — Ealing Southall

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2026

Debate

Social Housing Bill [Lords]

Contribution

My constituency is in the borough of Ealing, where 3,000 families are in temporary accommodation and 7,500 are on the housing list. Some 9,000 homes were sold off under the right to buy since the 1980s. Does my hon. Friend agree that this Bill strikes the right balance between continuing social mobility for long-standing tenants while protecting homes for those most in need?
